River View vintage pencil drawing The darks are in the20th century French School oil painting on wood. The work is smooth to the touch. A beautiful muted example of an early 1900's oil on wood, probably painted outside "en plein air." We see two figures sitting on the banks of the river, potentially fishing, with a country house and mountains in the background. The painting was created using quick brushstrokes, and there are areas that were left unfinished. A truly lovely piece. Overall Size: 9. 4" x 12.
